Does the Durametric display "pending" codes?

My Durametric arrived yesterday and I briefly hooked it up to the car today. I haven't gone through any of the advanced functions but I ran the feature that displays fault codes. Duramteric said my car showed no fault codes, which is a good thing lol, but it made me wonder because I know sometimes you can have a fault but the CEL isn't necesarilly lit until the DME detects the problem in more than one drive cycle. I believe these are called "pending" codes. My generic code scanner does not display these, which makes it hard to diagnose something since you won't necessarily see a CEL even when something's wrong.

So back to the original question. Will the Durametric display all faults, or only faults when the CEL is lit?
